I met them on ____ morning last month.

I met them on ____ morning last month. a) Monday b) a Monday c) the Monday

I would like to know whether we can write days with articles. So far, I have been convinced that days are only used with a zero article e.g. They are not working on Monday. If we can, the difference of form must inevitably imply a difference in meaning. What exactly is different?

Re: I met them on ____ morning last month.

I saw him on Monday. - The most recent Monday.
I saw him on a Monday. - One Monday from a number (last year, for instance)
I saw him on the Monday. - A specific Monday known to the listener (the week I was in London, for instance)
